55 applications in first few days

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) now being offered through the Tri-County Opportunities Council is taking a burden off of folks needing assis-

tance with their utility bills.

Vanessa Hoffeditz, community service coordinator for Tri-County Opportunities Council, confirmed since the federally funded program became available last Friday, there has been a tremendous response from individuals.

So far, the Princeton office has

received 55 applications for the program.

Hoffeditz explained the state funding for the utility assistance program was taken away July 1, due to the state budget impasse.

Fortunately, a bill was passed within the last month to allow federal funds for programs to fil-

ter through the state despite the budget impasse.

“I don’t know what these people would have done without the program at all,” Hoffeditz said.

Many of the individuals who benefited from the state-funded program had to cut back in other areas, such as food and medi-

cations, in order to pay for their utility bills.

Hoffeditz confirmed some folks were even forced to be disconnected from services and have remained without utility services since July. These folks are now

Benefit planned for 4-year-old boy Robert Longmire has cerebral palsy and West syndrome

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

BUDA — A benefit will to help out the family of a 4-year-old Buda boy who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and the rare seizure disorder, West syndrome, will be Saturday, Oct. 10.

Robert Longmire was diagnosed with the seizure disorder at 6 months old.

His mother, Jen, said she first noticed something wasn’t right when Robert would be laying in his crib and suddenly jolt awake as

if he had been startled.

She said it was difficult to understand what was happening at first because it wasn’t a normal sign of a seizure. When Jen took her son to Peoria to see a specialist, they told her the type of seizures Robert was experiencing were rare. She said doctors confirmed they had only seen three cases of West syndrome prior to Robert’s.

While doctors said patients usually outgrow the seizures around age 3, Robert continues to experience the symptoms.

Doctor’s recently recommended Robert undergo extensive dental work to help ease the pain of his seizures.

Farm-to-Table dinner highlights local growers

By Dave Cook dcook@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — No one traveled very far for the Farm-to-Table dinner, including the ingredients.

The entire meal was sourced from local growers in celebration of their contributions to area farmers’ markets, healthy eating and the success of the first year of the From the Ground Up farmers’ market loyalty program sponsored by the Bureau and Putnam County Health Department.

Continuing the theme of locality, the four-course gourmet meal, which was served Wednesday, Sept.

30, at the Bureau County Metro Center, was masterfully crafted by Chef Monika Sudakov from Sheffield’s Chestnut Street Inn. Chef Monika, already well

known for her fondness of cooking with locally sourced ingredients, volunteered her time to help showcase the bounty of area growers.

“What a great night. We celebrated the season in royal style, with delicious, local, farm fresh food prepared by Chef Monika in the company of the growers themselves. Every course was a treat for taste and health,” said the health department’s Joy Kauffman.

Those who completed their loyalty program punch cards were entered into a drawing with the prize of tickets to the dinner. Those lucky enough to have their names drawn dined alongside the growers from area markets and other ticket holders. In the

time between the main course and dessert, Kauffman introduced the farmers present and listed the items which they had provided for the dinner. This created a very unique dining experience, as it’s certainly unusual to be able to sit across the table from the people who have contributed every aspect of your evening’s meal and learn firsthand about where the ingredients originated as they share the stories behind the different farms. Edgewood Farm Organic’s Katy Clarke, who supplied the salad’s baby spinach, kale and garlic, said “Monika wowed us once again with her skills as a fresh produce chef.

More importantly, the $25 price for dinner was refreshing and the volunteer staff rocked it.”

The first course of the night was a savory butternut squash soup with a small dollop of creme fraiche and topped with crispy bacon and a leaf of fried sage. The second course was a salad of mixed greens, salad tomatoes, perfectly roasted beets, radish and sweet baby turnip, all topped with a large, lightly fried squash blossom which had been stuffed with seasoned goat cheese and served with a balsamic dressing. The main course was a roasted pork loin topped with roasted vegetable caponata and served

Chef Monika Sudakov with a side of herb mashed sweet potatoes, crispy kale and nasturtium. The final jewel of the evening was an apple creme brulee topped with dehydrated apples and a sprig of fresh mint.

Every course was a subtle and impeccable marriage of flavors to enjoy.

“This is the type of dessert you just want to eat slowly and enjoy the flavors,” said Coneflower Farm’s Dennis Zehr.

Kauffman shared some of the results from the successful loyalty program.

One hundred percent of the farmers involved felt the program and associated marketing was helpful to their business, and they

look forward to participating in the program next year. Eighty-three percent felt it had expanded their customer base between 20 and 40 percent and the same percentage had an increase in repeat customers. Sixty-seven percent made more money than they did at the same markets last year, and 42 percent added new land for their produce cultivation this year.

“We look forward to the future of helping residents of Bureau and Putnam counties build their health through local foods and markets. We are so pleased to see the impact we’ve made,” said Kauffman.

MISSING 1,000 CASH

REWARD

The costs of all the needed medical procedures and doctor’s appointments for Robert have been overwhelming for the Longmire family, which only has one income. Jen gave up her career as a hairstylist to stay home and care for Robert and their two other children.

The family is struggling to pay for uncovered medical expenses, transportation, a special wheelchair, home modification to provide handicapped-accessible living for their son and the most recent dental work.

The family however is looking forward to their fundraiser on Saturday, which will be held from 3 to 9 p.m. at the Princeton Elks Lodge, located at 1105 E. Peru St. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for kids ages 10 and under and will be available at the door.

Longmire said the day will be a family-oriented event. There will be a bouncy house and face painting for kids. There will be an all-you-caneat taco dinner, which

raffles and a quilt raffle.

Longmire said she’s looking forward to seeing support for her son. She said he’s gotten a lot of community support and hopes Saturday is a fun day for families who can come out and help support a good cause.

The Mary Kay Foundation awards Freedom House $20,000 grant for domestic violence programs Local shelter is one of 150 to receive funding in advance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month PRINCETON — Freedom House, an agency that offers women fleeing from domestic violence safe shelter, has received a $20,000 grant from The Mary Kay Foundation. In advance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, the foundation has awarded $20,000 in grants to 150 domestic violence shelters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for a total of $3 million.

While more than half of the grant recipients use the unrestricted funds for basic operating expenses, others hire much needed personnel, complete repairs and facility renovations or add programs and resources based on the unique needs of their shelter and the clients they serve. Freedom House will use the grant funding to provide critical support for its operating expenses.

“At Freedom House, we are incredibly grateful for support from The Mary Kay Foundation and its commitment to break the cycle of domestic violence,” said Bruce McVety, executive director. “The Mary Kay Foundation has an established reputation of actively working to empower women in our society; to help them

realize their potential in the market place. They also remember to extend a helping hand to those who choose to come out of the dark night of domestic violence. At a time when agencies like ours face fiscal challenges, the Mary Kay Foundation’s support enables Freedom House to keep a light still shining for victims and survivors of domestic violence.”

During fiscal year 2015, Freedom House provided shelter services for 95 clients. These 40 adults and 32 children received a total of 2,179 nights of shelter. The agency provided 5,660.75 hours of therapy, counseling and advocacy services to 574 residential and non-residential clients.

Freedom House assisted in the filing of 244 orders of protection in order to keep perpetrators away from victims. The agency prevention education program reached more than 17,300 school aged children and 1,600 adults received education. In total, more than 19,000 individuals were served by Freedom House which is more than 19 percent of the population in the service area.

“Mary Kay has a long-standing commit-

ment to prevent and end domestic violence,” said Anne Crews, board member for The Mary Kay Foundation and vice president of public affairs for Mary Kay Inc. “While progress has been made in the United States in meeting the needs of the thousands of domestic violence survivors who seek help each and every day, there remains a significant gap between funding and resources. We know from our work with shelter directors across the nation that the foundation’s annual grants are a lifeline for many shelters and continue to impact an epidemic that touches one in every four women.”

Since 2000, The Mary Kay Foundation has donated $35.6 million to domestic violence organizations through its annual shelter grant program. Each year, grants are awarded to at least one domestic violence shelter in every state with the remaining grants distributed based on state population. U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands, have also received funding through the Shelter Grant program. Approximately 625 domestic violence shelters applied for funding this year.

The Mary Kay Foundation was created in 1996, and its mission is two-fold: to fund research of cancers affecting women and

to help prevent domestic violence while raising awareness of the issue.

The Mary Kay Foundation has awarded $64.2 million to shelters and programs addressing domestic violence prevention and cancer researchers and related causes throughout the United States. To learn more about The Mary Kay Foundation, visit www. marykayfoundation.org or call 877-MKCARES (6522737).

For more than three decades, Freedom House has provided services to those individuals and their families who have been impacted by domestic violence. The agency also provides individual therapy, group counseling, support, medical and legal advocacy. Clients gain valuable life skills training in the areas of parenting, budgeting, meal planning, cooking, computer literacy, decision making, employment seeking and communication skills. All of these services are available to victims which help them feel empowered to leave a life of violence.

Freedom House is the only state recognized domestic violence and sexual assault provider agency that serves Bureau, Marshall, Putnam, Stark and Henry counties.

State Police to conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols LASALLE — Illinois State Police (ISP) District 17 troopers will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) in LaSalle County during the month of October.

OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws. Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set-up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up.

Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up.

Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save over 12,000 lives each year. Over half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly buckled up.

The objective of the program is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections and enforcement.

Great awareness, acceptance and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives.

ISP announces safety Local 4-H clubs invite children to be new members checks to be conducted

One out of every seven adults in the U.S. is a former 4-H member.

Clubs are accepting new members this month to grow that number even higher.

4-H members in the county will join the 6 million youth across the country in celebrating National 4-H Week, Oct. 4-10. 4-H youth development programs provide hands-on learning activities for youth in Illinois and throughout the country. 4-H youth programs focus on leadership, citizenship and life skills.

Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program which is operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth

aged 8 to 18. Youth 5 to 7 years of age may join the 4-H Cloverbud program.

There are several ways to participate in 4-H. Youth may join 4-H community clubs, coordinated by local certified adult volunteers. Each club decides how often it meets, the location of its meetings and the activities held during the meeting. Members may select from more than 100 different project areas to study while they build leadership, teamwork, cooperation, decision-making and communication skills.

Youth may also choose to focus on a very specific project area and join a club specifically related to that one project. Robotics, photography,

gardening, visual arts and nutrition, are just a few of the popular topics for special interest clubs.

One may also participate in 4-H through short term projects held during school or at after school youth organizations. Some of these popular groups teach youth about caring for the environment, preparing for a career, making healthy choices or other priority issues which build a person’s life skills.

To learn more about 4-H and enroll a child in a local club, contact your local extension office. Extension offices are located in Princeton, Ottawa, Henry and in Oglesby on the IVCC campus.

‘Day of the Arts!’ planned at IVCC Oct. 17 OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College will host its first-ever “Day of the Arts!,” a celebration that runs from 1 to 7:15 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.

ISP to conduct ACE patrols during October LASALLE — The Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrols in LaSalle County during the month of October.

The ACE patrols allow the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on preventing, detecting and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol and other drugs.

Across the country, an average of

one alcohol-related traffic death occurs every 51 minutes.

Alcohol and drug impairment remain significant factors in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois.

Each year in Illinois, hundreds of lives are lost in alcohol-related crashes. Don’t risk losing a driver’s license, car or freedom. Law enforcement will arrest those who drive impaired.

This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety.

ISP announces Roadside Safety Check results LASALLE — The Illinois State Police (ISP) announced the results of a Roadside Safety Check (RSC) held during the late evening hours of Friday, Sept. 25, and in the early morning hours of Saturday, Sept. 26.

The detail was conducted at Route 251 at North 25th Road, south of Peru, by ISP District 17 officers.

Alcohol is involved in nearly 40 percent of fatal crashes in Illinois. RSCs are designed to remove alcohol-impaired drivers, however when other violations are observed such as driving with a suspended or revoked license, operating a vehicle without a valid registration

or insurance or safety belt violations, enforcement action may be taken.

The following citations were issued at the safety check: there was one written warning for a registration offense; three citations and eight warnings issued for driver’s license offenses; one warning given for an occupant restraint offense; one arrest made for driving under the influence; four arrests made for other alcohol/drug offenses.

There were a total of eight citations issued and 20 written warnings given.

This project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Transportation Safety.

From the editor’s desk Have you ordered/bought your tickets yet for our upcoming Women of Distinction Award luncheon? I hope so. Seats are limited, so if you are wanting to come, please do so this week. It will be an incredible day filled with fun, laughter, inspiration and so much more. You won’t want to miss this event.

As I’ve said before, I am so excited Terri Simon about our keynote speaker, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. I’ve been working with her staff, and it’s become clear Madigan is also excited about attending. I understand her to be a very engaging speaker, and I’m sure we will all go home that day with a better understanding of how she has worked tirelessly for the people of Illinois. Being Illinois’ first female attorney general, Madigan will come to the podium with a host of stories and experiences that will be not just motivational, but also very interesting.

After Madigan speaks, we’ll also be presenting our Women of Distinction Awards to the following six Illinois Valley ladies: Linda Gustafson and Janice Wamhoff of Princeton; Kathy Jo Lindner, Betty Jean Pappas and Denise Etscheid Sabotta of LaSalle; and Sen. Sue Rezin of Morris.

There will also be plenty of door prizes, a goody bag, a great luncheon and more — all in the beautiful surroundings of The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens in rural Princeton.

Please order your tickets ($30) today, and plan on having a wonderful afternoon you’ll remember for a long time. Call Christy at our office at 815-875-4461, ext. 6320. I sure hope to see you there.

And just a reminder: This event is for men and women alike. While we host this event to honor all women in the Illinois Valley, we clearly urge the fellows out there to come and enjoy the day as well. Call me with any questions at 815-875-4461, ext. 6330, or email me at tsimon@bcrnews.com.

••• Customer Service Kudos: Do you know an individual or a business that delivers great customer service?

Is so, send me a brief email telling me what you have experienced, and I’ll publish it in this column to let other readers know where they can find great customer service.

••• The memory of the Civil War will never die, and events like Shadows of the Blue and Gray help bring the war to life, allowing attendees a glimpse of what life in that era might have been like. On Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday, Oct. 11, Princeton’s City-County Park will be the scene of battles and demonstrations of the methods a typical Civil War era field hospital would use to care for the wounded. Artisans will demonstration how people back then made candles, brooms, tools and blacksmith and woodworking goods. A Civil War fashion show will highlight the fashion of the 1860s. President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, impersonated by Max and Donna Daniels of Wheaton, will be at the event all weekend.

On the street Shadows of the Blue and Gray is set for this weekend. What impact does re-enacting history have on today’s world?

“I think it’s important for the younger generations to actually see what war was like and not just read about it in their history books.”

Andrea Etheridge, Princeton “Re-enactments make history come alive. It’s more than words on a page.

It tells of important lives and events from which we shape our future.”

Teri Schlindwein, Princeton

“It’s important so that we can be reminded of what our ancestors did for us to gain the freedoms that we have today.”

David Workman, Tiskilwa

“History does repeat itself. Today our country is divided on many ideological principles. People must become educated and realize the terrible consequences of previous wars and learn from past experiences.”

Sheryl Woodbury, Limerick “Re-enacting or portraying living history, if you will, is a phenomenal way for people living in this day and age to learn about our nation’s past. It takes the sometimes boring text out of the history books and brings it to life. It’s an exciting way to learn about our ancestors and to see where we as Americans have come from. It lets people learn history in a way that they can feel, see, smell and touch. It makes it more personal. We never seek to glorify war through re-enacting but to let people see how everyday people lived in another time. We work hard to dispel myths and to present history in a real and personal way.”

Randy Woodbury, Princeton

Summer into Fall 2015 is marching along. Each year, as I get older, the years seem to go faster. Oh well, I’m glad that I’m here to watch and learn with each passing one.

At this time of year, into September and October, I always try to reflect on how my summer has been. This summer has been OK. My golf game has definitely had a better 2015 than it did in 2014. I spent 2014 wondering where my game had gone and unfortunately never really finding it. My husband had a successful outpatient surgery that sidelined his golf game for six weeks but he was a good sport and went with me to drive the cart.

Sadly, we did wake up one Sunday morning to a large limb having fallen from our favorite Navajo willow tree. It was hard to lose part of a beautiful tree, but no other damage was done to our home, garage or cars. Thankfully, with some help from family, we got it cleaned up.

My grandchildren have had an enjoyable summer, playing baseball, swimming, and just being kids.

Unfortunately, the 6 year old broke his arm near the end of his summer so his fun in the pool was cut short.

He is healing nicely and soon the cast will be a distant memory. The 9 year old was kept busy playing baseball, swimming and playing some 3-on-3 basketball tournaments. He’s a pretty good under-the-basket guy and not easy to push around. The 2 year old has changed from a baby

Nita Wyatt COMMENTARY

to a little boy over the summer.

He talks pretty much constantly, and his latest accomplishment is swimming across the pool in their backyard. He is all about water these days, in the pool, in a bowl, or from the hose. Water is his friend.

That pool is in for many more years of fun and laughter with the boys.

Happy we were able to enjoy time with them all.

As we are now in October and Labor Day has come and gone, I always ask myself the age-old question, “Do I wear white after Labor Day?” Since I don’t live in a tropical paradise, I have to decide, white or no white? I have qualifiers for making a decision about white. First of all, if the outside temperature rises above 90 degrees, white is always appropriate, in my book. This is Illinois, you just never know what the weather is going to do. It could be 90 today and we could have a frost warning two days from now. My second qualifier is that if you live in Bureau County and it is Homestead Festival weekend, you are permitted to wear white. It’s a festival, you should wear what you want. And lastly, if you look in your closet and

all of your clean shirts have white in them, then by all means, wear your white shorts/pants. In other words, I pretty much wear white if I feel like it. How about you?

I always find it interesting as we move into fall to hear people talk about how much they love fall. I think those same people were saying, a few short months ago, that they couldn’t wait for summer, it is their favorite time of year. I also find it interesting that even though we Midwesterners are anxious for warm weather in the spring and summer, we like fall. Do we remember what comes after fall? You know, you remember, winter. I too like fall but fall is fleeting. You never know what you are going to get. We could have beautiful, warm, sunny weather until November or we could have cold, chilly weather starting at the beginning of October. You just never know.

I think it is inborn if you live where we do that we like the changing of the seasons, it’s just the way it is. Each season has something that we enjoy and of course, things that we don’t like. Whether it is spring flowers, summer picnics, fall colors, or those perfectly imperfect snowflakes, we find something to enjoy.

I hope your summer was great, and I hope you find pleasure in your fall. It’s a cozy time of year.

But we all know that the next season change will be to, remember, winter.

Hopps, Bruins bring Homecoming fire

Tigers second at Orion

PERU — Baylee Hopps and the St. Bede Bruins scored 19 unanswered points in the second half for a 33-14 win over Erie-Prophetstown in front of a large homecoming crowd at the academy Saturday, Oct. 3.

Hopps scored all three touchdowns in the second half as the Bruins ran away to the Three Rivers Mississippi Division victory. Hopps also scored the Bruins’ first touchdown of the day, finishing with four scores on the day.

The win was a pivotal one for the Bruins (4-2, 3-1), who are starting to get healthy just in time for the final playoff push.

“That was huge going 4-2 instead of 3-3. Sets the momentum for the remainder of the year now,” Hopps said. “We’re getting healthy, so that really helps a lot. We got the family back together. We’re just playing our hearts out every game and we get the dub (win).”

St. Bede coach Jim Eustice, whose own team has been decimated by injuries, acknowledged the Panthers were not the same team Saturday without star running back Dylan Binion, who was injured the week before against Sterling Newman.

“That was one of the things we had kind of wondered all week. You have to defend a system. I’m sure it would have been a lot more difficult for us had they had him. No question about that. He’s an incredible running back.”

Even still, E/P matched the Bruins offensively, tallying 272 net yards, all via the rush. But after getting a 52-yard touchdown run on the option by

St. Bede senior running back Baylee Hopps meets two of his closest friends from Erie/Prophetstown on the gridiron at the academy Saturday. He scored four touchdowns to lead the Bruins to a 33-14 TRAC Mississippi victory.

Princeton Tigers finished second at the Orion Invitational Saturday.

The Tigers defeated Canton and Rock Island Alleman, while losing to the eventual champion Orion.

The Tigers and Canton played to a scoreless tie.

In the shootout, PHS keeper Isaac Salazar deflected three of the five Canton attempts while Brent Schenck, Tanner Kuhne and Jayden Pinter scored to complete the 3-2 win.

The second game was also decided by shootout as Tigers defeated Rock Island Alleman 3-2 in a regional preview. The Pioneers scored twice in the first period but the Tigers rallied and scored two times on penalty kicks by Kuhne and Schenck to force the shootout. Kuhne, Schenck and Pinter scored in the shootout with Salazar making three stops.

Salazar turned his goalie shirt in for a forward to score the lone Tiger goal from the 50-yard line in an 8-1 loss to Orion-Sherrard United.

Three Tigers made the tournament team: Salazar, Brent Loftus and Kai Brown.

“We had a good experience. Valuable experience with all of the penalty kicks,” PHS coach David Gray. “We would have liked to give Orion/Sherrard a tougher match, but tournament play is very difficult when we only have four healthy substitutes for three matches in one day.

We feel positive about our

Tiger defense throws Newman for rare shutout

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

How good was the Princeton Tiger defense Friday night at Sterling? So good that longtime Newman backers in the crowd said they couldn’t remember the last time the mighty Comets were shut out.

Longtime Newman coach Mike Papoccia, who’s coached the Comets to 303 victories and five state championships, did not know.

“I have no idea really. Been a long time, decades maybe,” he said.

That’s what happened to the tune of a 14-0 Tiger white wash.

PHS senior linebacker Jacob

Friday Night

Rewind Smith said while he wouldn’t have guessed the Tigers would pitch a shutout against Newman, that is the game plan every night.

“We go into every game with the mindset that no one will get into our end zone,” he said.

“We play as one team and one defense. We strive to be all

over the field, play assignment football and gang tackle. When we do all these things, like we did Friday night, good things happen.”

The Tigers made two goal line stands, stopping Newman at the 7-yard line on its first drive of the game, and later at the 2 in the fourth quarter.

Newman coach Mike Papoccia said the Tigers’ stop in the first quarter set the tone for the rest of the game that the Tigers were there to play.

“They got tougher the closer we got to the goal line,” Papoccia said.

Senior linebacker Skye Behrends also made good things happen, picking off two Comet passes.

The PHS defense has allowed just 33 points in six games, an average of 5.5 per game. Take away the 20 scored

by Fulton, and the Tigers have given up just 13 in the other five games (2.6).

• Poll watching: Heading into Friday’s game, the Tigers cracked the state rankings at No. 9. Where do they go now after knocking off No. 1 3A Newman? Will they land at No. 7, No. 5, No. 3 or even No. 1?

We will find out Tuesday.

As it stands, they are the first PHS team to be ranked since 2003. Joe Ryan’s last team at PHS was ranked No. 8 in 4A until losing to Rock Island

Rewind

From Page 9 quarterback Phillip Coers to close out the first half to tie the game on Coers’ conversion run, they did not score again.

Josh Sapp made two key interceptions to lead the Bruins charge defensively, snagging a Coers pass at the back of the end zone on the last play of the first half to maintain the halftime tie.

“I saw a guy release and I was getting my butt back there as fast as I could. I was just trying to prevent a touchdown before half,” Sapp said.

The Panthers had no answer for Hopps.

The senior back scored on a three-yard touchdown to give the Bruins a 7-6 lead with the PAT at the 10:58 mark of the second quarter.

He added a pair of TD runs (29, 7) in the fourth quarter.

St. Bede’s Brady Booker grabs E/P running back Garrett Passmore Saturday. to go back to the drawing board to get things straightened out for the stretch run. He would not use the absence of Binion as any excuse.

“Right now I’m not into excuses and things like that,” he said. “I’m into our kids not playing disciplined football and that’s on me and our coaching staff. That’s what we’re going to get to, just talking about doing the little things right, because we’re not doing them right now.

“We got to get back to practice and go to work. I think we have too much a sense of entitlement with some of these kids here right now. They have to get back to the grind and got to work harder.

Our backs are against the wall, so we are going to have to push through these last three weeks.”

Hall of Fame, including Sarah Stariha (Class of 2008), Sarah (Slevin) Wien (2000), Bill Andreoni (‘71) and Tom Ptak (‘75).

Alleman in Week 3. They went 6-4, losing to Peotone in the first round of the playoffs.

The year before, the 2002 Tigers reached the 2A semifinals, ranked as high as No. 4.

The 1989 Tigers opened the preseason ranked coming off a strong ‘88 campaign, returning the bulk of their team that lost to Alleman 23-22 in the playoff opener.

They stood No. 3 at 5-0 heading into a Week 6 victory at Hall. Thrown for a Week 7 loss to Rochelle, they were ranked No. 8 heading into a quarterfinal rematch with Alleman. The Tigers finished No. 2 with a loss to Belleville Althoff in the state finals.

• In the driver’s seat: Princeton now stands alone atop the Three Rivers Mississippi Division at 3-0. Hall and St. Bede are tied for second at 3-1 with Newman falling to fourth at 2-1.

Orion leads the Rock Division at 4-0. Rockridge is 3-1.

Bureau Valley stands 1-2, but looking to move up with three games remaining with teams with a combined 3-15 overall record.

• Six-cess: The Tigers have become just the fourth PHS football team to start out 6-0. No Tiger team has started 7-0 in school history, let alone gone 9-0.

They are joined at 6-0 by their 1997, 1989 and 1969 brethren.

The last PHS team to start

Calling all 2005 Storm MANLIUS — Bureau Valley High School will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2005 state championship Storm football team at halftime of Friday’s game with Fulton.

Bureau Valley is seeking help in spreading the word to all team members so they can be honored Friday. All 2005 team members and coaches are asked to call BVHS at 815-445-4004 for details.

This will also be Senior Night. Seniors and parents will be announced between the sophomore and varsity games.

Then the 2005 state squad will be honored.

6-0, the 1997 Tigers of Joe Ryan, featuring all-stater Nathan Norman, dropped its Week 7 game to rival Hall 20-7. They finished 8-2, losing to Mundelein Carmel in the 4A playoff opener (6 classes). PHS had an enrollment of 819 then as a small 4A entrant in the former sixclass system.

The 1989 Tigers, who ran wild to the 3A state finals, was knocked off course by NCIC power Rochelle in Week 7. They finished 12-2, the most wins in school history.

In 1969, PHS went 6-0 before falling to Geneseo.

They finished 7-2.

A win Friday by this year’s Tiger edition would make it the first ever 7-0.

At Peoria: Princeton ran in Saturday’s Peoria Invitational at Detweiller Park, the site of the state meet. While the format was different this year, splitting 1-2A schools from 3A schools, PHS coach Pat Hodge said it didn’t make the competition any

easier, but just made the field a little smaller.

The PHS contingent will start off the front 9.

Advancement: Top three teams and 10 individuals from non-qualifying teams advance to the Freeport Sectional, Monday, Oct. 12.

Metamora brings back four, including defending regional champ Marnie Ambrosch, now a junior. Princeton seeks its fourth straight sectional berth.
